Knowledge is Motivation: Link Love

Does Indoor Cycling Bulk Up Your Thighs? – I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people say they don’t cycle or squat because it bulks up their legs. If your legs are “bulking up”, why don’t you take a closer look at your diet instead of blaming exercise?! What a terrible excuse.

Is Saturated Fat Bad, Or Good For You? – I was reading an article on food labeling the other day and it got me thinking— when I buy food, I read the labels, mainly the ingredients and amount of protein, carbs, sugar and sodium but I never look at fat. It’s all about moderation so don’t be afraid of fat if they are from good sources such as grass-fed animals.

Detox diets & juice cleanses: Could they make you more toxic? – I never believed in detox and cleanses. I think they are stupid fads for lazy people looking for a shortcut— specifically those doing it to lose weight and not actually trying to flush out the toxins in their bodies. I strongly believe a healthy and active lifestyle is enough to coax your body to do the work to get rid of toxins, rather than you taking extreme measures.
